Energy State and Dinitrogen Fixation in Soybean Nodules of Dark-grown Plants.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dark treatment of 25-day-old greenhouse-grown plants of inoculated soybean (Glycine max var. Chippewa) for 1 day reduced ATP by 70%, sucrose by 60%, total adenosine phosphates by 60%, ATP/ADP ratio by 55%, nitrogenase activity by 50%, and energy charge by 15% in nodules. The close correlation between nitrogenase activity and these energy parameters indicates that they may play a major role in regulating dinitrogen fixation in the symbiotic system.

Regulation of soybean nitrogen fixation in response to rhizosphere oxygen: I. Role of nodule respiration.
Nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) rates of nodules on intact field-grown soybean (Glycine max) subjected to altered oxygen concentration (0.06-0.4 cubic millimeter per cubic millimeter) returned to initial rates during an 8-hour transitory period. Hydroponically grown soybean plants also displayed a transitory (1-4 hours) response to changes in the rhizosphere oxygen concentration after w...
متن کاملTranslocation of Photosynthetic Products to Soybean Nodules and Their Role in Nitrogen Fixation"12
Nodules from leguminous plants will continue to fix N2 into acid extractable compounds for several hours after they have been excised from the roots. The capacity of nodules to fix N2 is decreased twoto five-fold by slicing and is abolished by grinding the nodules (2). The decrease in nitrogen fixation which accompanies slicing of the nodules and suspending them in buffer or nutrient solutions ...

متن کاملWhite locoweed toxicity is facilitated by a fungal endophyte and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Mutualistic interactions with fungal endophytes and dinitrogen-fixing bacteria are known to exert key biological influences on the host plant. The influence of a fungal endophyte alkaloid on the toxicity of a plant has been documented in Oxytropis sericea. Oxytropis sericea is a perennial legume responsible for livestock poisoning in western North America. Livestock poisoning is attributed to t...

1.1 Biological nitrogen fixation and nitrogen nutrition in soybean plants Biological nitrogen fixation is one of the most important processes for ecosystem to access available N for all living organisms. Although N2 consists 78% of atmosphere, but the triple bond between two N atoms is very stable, and only a few group of prokaryotes can fix N2 to ammonia by the enzyme nitrogenase. Annual rate ...
